5 Steps to Create Your Own Job At Any Age
Smith,Wm.Hovey,2018,Create Your Own Job,https://createyourownjobsecurity.com, 1p.,blog,video,Profit, Sandersville, Georgia. Smith invented a new position of Information Scientist at a multi-national corporation by growing a short-term consult into the new corporate position. This and previous life experiences led him to the concept that people could, and should, create their own jobs throughout their lives to fill immediate needs and provide long-term job security.
Multi-business entrepreneurship can be done by: 1) Rank business opportunities into short, medium and long-term categories. Move those opportunities that require less capital and time up the list. 2) Rank them according to life goals, physical abilities and potential returns. 3) Pick short-term opportunities to produce immediate income and prosecute those. 4.) In the medium-term category, get professional certifications which might require college or trade school courses. Going through this step will hopefully result in obtaining a job that offers health insurance and benefits. 5.) While thus employed, work on the long-term possibilities that answer the questions, “What work is there that I enjoy doing so much that I would do it for nothing, and how can I make money at it?”
It might take years to develop an answer to these questions. When done and while still working, start a “business of passion” so that it is already established at age 40 and can be immediately ramped up to produce significant income at middle age and beyond. For example, Smith’s late-life business is Hovey’s Knives of China that makes modern cutlery in Central Georgia inspired by ancient patterns.
The TEDx Atlanta talk would include the audience listing business possibilities provoked by the presentation. These might include personal service, the arts, authorship, inventing products, IT, helping others from their life experiences or starting a non-profit. Billion-dollar businesses have been started by kitchen-table entrepreneurs as was done by the Cabela’s brothers in Sydney, Nebraska, who sold started their business in 1962 and sold it for 5.5 billion in August of 2018.
